University Assessment Committee

The University Assessment Committee has overall responsibility for developing Butler's assessment plan and for ensuring that the plan results in improvements in the quality of the university's programs.  Facilitated by the Director of Institutional Research and Assessment, the committee is divided into two subcommittees:  the academic subcommittee comprises the associate deans from each college and the Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs, and the administrative subcommittee comprises selected directors from a cross-section of administrative divisions, a student representative, and the Associate Provost for Student Academic Affairs.  Both subcommittees promote campus-wide assessment activities and serve as a resource to departments and divisions.
